• Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) Material, Structural, and Durability Performance (2008, neutral): “Although Figure 24.3 shows a particular example of ECC with steady state crack width at 60 µm, even tighter crack widths, as low as 20 µm, have been achieved (Yang et al, 2007).”
• Autogenous healing of engineered cementitious composites at early age (2011, methodology): “ECC with self-controlled crack width as low as 20 μm have been developed [26].”

• Autogenous healing of engineered cementitious composites under wet–dry cycles (2009, neutral): “ECC with self-controlled crack width as low as 20 μm have been developed [14].”
• Tailoring engineered cementitious composites for impact resistance (2012, background): “Fly ash is known to reduce chemical bonding while increasing frictional bonding of the PVA fiber/matrix interface [16] favorable to inducing steady-state cracking.”
• Mechanical and thermal properties of green lightweight engineered cementitious composites (2013, background): “This is due to the fact that higher FA content leads to an increase in frictional bond at the interface between PVA fibers and matrix, and a decrease in interfacial chemical bond and matrix fracture toughness [9].”
• Mechanical and durability properties of self consolidating high performance concrete incorporating natural zeolite, silica fume and fly ash (2013, background): “Incorporation of mineral admixtures also can lead to sustainable construction by conserving energy and resources and reducing environmental pollution impact associated with cement production [22,23].”
• Tailoring Engineered Cementitious Composites with local ingredients (2015, background): “It is known [31,34] that fly ash can lower the matrix fracture toughness, enhance the mix workability and improve fiber dispersion efficiency, and modifies the fiber/matrix interface.”
